Context
Brad is the assistant of Professor Diabolical. He helps to run the Escape Room and is supposed to stay in character as he guides the customers through their challenges. However, he has no flair for the job, and is awkward and clumsy. After pantomiming opening the door (badly) and making a half-hearted squeaky hinge sound, he guides Wacy into the room. Wacy is the first of the softball team to arrive and has come to participate in a team-building exercise.

Brad: Second.
Wacy: You're doing great, Brad.
Brad: Thanks Wacy! Hey, is the rest of the team going to be here?
Wacy: They are supposed to be. But I guess they're late as usual.

Diabolical: (Intentionally interrupting) Ahem.

Wacy: What character are you playing?
Brad: (Acting awkwardly in character again) I am the devious assistant of Professor Diabolical.
Wacy: I think you need to work on being more devious. You're too nice a guy.
Brad: But I've been practicing my evil laugh.
Wacy: Let's hear it.
Brad: (Not evil sounding, just weird) MU-ah-haha-hee-hoo.
Wacy: Keep working on it.
